HOMESPUN PARAGRAPHS.

Mr. Easy, prominent citizen of South
Dakota, came up to st. Paul last week to
spend a few days with the boys. He engaged
accommodations at private boarding house.
Early one morning after busy night out
with the gang, he staggered up to his board
ing house and began to hammer Oh the door
with his fists. The racket woke up the land
lady and coming into the hall she yelled:
''Who's there?"
''Mishter (hic) Eashy,'' was the response.
''What do you wants"
''Shwat do hic) want?"
''Yes, what do you want?"

makes me so mad to think of it.'

WHAT THEY SAID.
st. Paul Lady to her husband returning
from the theater-I didn't enjoy the play one
bit, those silly things behind us kept talking
SO.
Husband-They were talking about your
hat, dear.
''Oh, were they: What'd they say? Those
horrid actors talked so loud couldn't hear
anything. Did they say they thought 1t was
becoming? Did they make any remarks
about that heliotrope and scarlet feather?
Did you hear them say whether the brown
ribbon harmoniZed with my hairs Did they
say that il must have cost great dealg,

VAST DIFFERENCE.

tween the average American eagle and a con-
frmed drunkard?'
"Giye it up.''

eagle measures six feet from lip to tip, while

Il. I'll, MaxfeId.

LEWIS II. MAXFIELD, of MAXFIELD & sSE4s
BURY-Within the past three weeks the Ranks
of st. Paul have reduced the rate of discount
which is a substantial indication that the
money market is daily growing easier. While
the movement in real estate is not so pno-
nouneed as many expected it would be, the
reason, 1 think, is found in the fact that cap
italists are helping the merchants now. sReE
ports from Duluth, where this time last year
the wheat receipts aggregated $4,000, 900
bushels. show that up 10 date not more than
one-third of that quantity has been received
and this indicates that the farmers have been
otherwise engaged. All the country contigu-
GUS to Duluth, and especially the wheat re-
gion of Dakota remains to be heard from, and
business will soon be booming along in its
proper channel and collections will be ma
terially improved But Eastern houses will
not wait for wheat or any other crop to move,
as they do not underestimate, but when their
bills are due we are pretty apt to receive
notice to send draft for the amount that we
owe them; and hence money flows into the
Golfers of these capitalists, no matter how
times are with US. But there is no lack of
money now, although real estate may be
quieter than some of the dealers wish.

ANY Way, Even to a
Finish.

The averages of the members of the
Oshkosh team have been printed, and
they are of interest chiefly because the
team won the pennant. The general
batting average is high, and in fielding
the team proves to have been somewhat
stronger than that of st. Paul. Nc
Carthy, the leading batter of the team,
generally believed to have had an aver
age of over 400, gets only 1856, ten points
below Crooks, of st. Paul. The fielding
of some members of the team was very
brilliant. For instance, Wilson, who
played in thirty-seven games, made but
three errors and has an average of .991,
and O'COnnell, the first baseman, has
an average of .971. The batting aver
ages of the men who were with the team
at the end of the season are as follows:

GOSPEL ARMY RACKET.

Gen. J. l.. THOMSON and Mai. E.. N.
FIsHBLATT, of the Gospel Army, are at
outs, and there is liable to be a split in
that noisy religious organization unless
the breach is healed in some way that
cannot be easily forSeen. Maj. FISH
BLATT, who has for several years been
resident of Minneapolis and physi-
clan in good standing, is a gentleman
and scholar. Besides these accom-
plishments he possesses an indomitable
will, and when he makes up his mind to
do certain thing he goes about doing
it with an enthusiasm peculiar to him
self. 1t was but few months ago that
DIR. FIsHBLATT allied himself with the
Gospel Army, and his earnestness as a
Christian worker soon won for him the
appointment of major in the Gospel
ranks. DR.. FIsHBLATT was con-
verted not many years ago from
the Jewish faith, and at once
became an active worker i'm
the Methodist church. He devoted
more time and attention to works of
charity and to the conversion of souls
than he did to the practice of his pro-
fessiOn. Since his conversion he has
each year taken prominent part in the
camp meetings held at Red Rock, and
any one who has heard Dr. FIsHBLATr
pray, or eXhort sinners to accept the
Christian faith, cannot easily doubt
his sincerity in the work that he has
undertaken. In the stand that he has
taken against Gen. THOMSON he does
not show any signs of an ambition for
personal ascendency, but appears to be
doing what he believes to be right, on
general principles. If the charges made
against Gen. THOMSON by DR.. FISH
BIATT are true, that gentleman has
committed various acts for which
he is liable to-, the law. If it
is true that Ten. THOMSON
has never been licensed to

CALLING THE ANGELS IN.

We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slack this fevered rush
That is wearing our very souls away.
And grant to our goaded hearts a hush
That is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime broil is DER,
Well sit and muse, while the stars come out,
AS the patriarch sat at the open door
Of his tent, with heavenward gazing eye,
To watch for the angels passing by.
To see them afar at high noontide,
When fiercely the worlds hot flashings
beat;
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry awhile in converse sweet;
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we
spread,
To drink of our wine and break our bread.
We promised our hearts that when the stress
Of the life-Work reaches the longed-f for
close,
When the weight that we groan with hinders
less,
Well loosen our hearts to such repose
AS banishes Cares disturbing din,
And then-we'll call the angelsi in,
That day we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired of every mocking quest,
And broken in spirit and shorn of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door of rest,
And wait and watch as the day waneS on
But the angels we meant to call are gone.

s'The meek are often malicious" says Col.
INGERsoLL in his reply to DR.. FIELD. Right
you are, colonel. The mule is an illustration
of the truthfulness of your statement. Of all
the beasts of the field there are none meeker
than the long-eared representative of the
equine races. And yet, when he is looking
the meekest, there is more malice in his hind
legs than in an anarchist.

r. f. O'NeilI.

RICHARD F. O'NEILL, formerly of the RYAN
Cafe-In common with hosts of friends of
Mr. JOHN PHILIPS the artist. was shocked
at the publication in the GLOBE Of the de-
struction of his picture of LAWRENCE BAR
RETT, the tragedian, the other morning in
the yestibule of the Ryan. Probably took
more interest in the matter than anybody
else because of the fact that in boyhood I
was companion of Mr.. BARRETT, for we
both worked together in the Office of the De-
trolt Times as printers devils. For many
years there has been a story current that the
real name of LAWRENCE BARRETT was LAW
RENEE BRANNIGAN, and that with his en-
trance upon the stage the Celtic name was
dropped. To my personal knowledge the
tragedian's full name is LAWRENCE PATRICK
BARRETT. and there was never any question
about the matter among his former associ-
ates in Detroit. Before going to work on the
Times LARRY, as we called him, was bell
boy at the Biddle house, and was popular
with the guests of that hotel because of his
Willingness to oblige every one that called his
services into reQuisition. When he gave up
the bell boys place and turned his attention
to the printing business, 1t was part of BAR
RETT's work to take the printing to the thea
ter, the old Metropolitan at Detroit, and he
was always regarded as stage-struck by his
companions. 1t was not an unusual occur
renee at the dinner hour, to find him behind
stack of type cases in the printing office,
industriously coming a copy Lof SHAKE
sPEARE, and frequently the boys would make
him spout piece for then. Finally he at
tracted the attention of the manager of the
local theater, and was given a small speak
ing part in Jack Sheppard which MAGGIE
MITCHELL. was the star in. Stock companies
were the rule in those days, and step by step
BARRETT advanced until he became leading
man of the company, and he then left Detroit
for New York, and the remainder of his
career is current history.
But why any one should wish to destroy his
picture is something beyond my comprehen-
sion, for among all classes of people Law
RENEE BARRETT has always been popular, and
he never struck me as man who wanted to
put on airs.
recall an incident that occurred at Mil.
waukee on one occasion, when he was play
ing an engagement at the theater in that
city, and 1 went to the Plankinton house to
pay my respects as an old friend. AS soon as
I entered his room he rose and grasped me by
the hand, saying, why DICK, old fellow, /
am glad to see you again" We had been
separated for years, but 1 found him, al
though great tragedian and famous
throughout the world, the same genial ae-
commodating fellow that 1 had worked with
side by side in the dingy old printing Office.
